The rapid progress of ultraintense laser technology provides a novel route to explore the
quantum vacuum effect in the laboratory. Here, we propose using oblique collisions …

In this work, we propose polarimetry experiments to search for low-mass (sub-eV) bosonic
field dark matter, including axions and axionlike particles. We show that a polarimetry …

In this paper, in the framework of the BMV (Biréfringence Magnétique du Vide) project,
whose goal is the measurement of the vacuum linear magnetic birefringence, we study the …

Quantum electrodynamics predicts that vacuum should be a non-linear optical medium: the
speed of light in vacuum should decrease when the vacuum is stressed by intense …

Ce travail de thèse présente la nouvelle version du dispositif expérimental du projet BMV
(Biréfringence Magnétique du Vide) dont le but est de mesurer la biréfringence magnétique …

This thesis discusses the use of laser interferometers to detect quantum gravity phenomena,
dark matter, and gravitational waves. In the first chapter, the laser interferometry experiment …

For nearly a century, physicists have been studying changes in the speed of light in a
vacuum caused by a magnetic field. In 1933, O. Halpern described the vacuum as a …

Despite its many successes, the Standard Model of particle physics is ultimately incomplete.
Observed phenomena like dark matter and dark energy, and theoretical complications like …
